The Child of Lov was known for being mysterious and reclusive. This year he released his debut self-titled album, which was recorded at Damon Albarn's 13 studio in London. It featured collaborations with Albarn and DOOM.

The full statement from the Child of Lov's management:

On behalf of the family and as his manager I must announce that Martijn Teerlinck aka Cole Williams aka The Child of Lov aka Sun Patzer is no longer with us. He lived a life of struggle and can now rest peacefully. In his own words: ‘When I was younger, I had a tough time physically. I have seen too many hospital beds. It made me stronger. Makes you realize death is always near, for anyone. And what a wonderful thing life is and how grateful we should be.
